Questions & Answers

Where does this dehydrator get its price of almost $500 from?

It costs 350 dollars, not "almost 500", at this stage for the more expensive (metal shelf) version. There is still some steepness, and it might be overdone Prices are reasonable. All those who own one seem to praise it as being an incredibly high-quality piece of Investing in a major appliance is more like buying a blow dryer at Costco than a major appliance.

Does it seem like the unit is down? Can you store them separately, or do you have to remove them first?

A separate shelf is kept for each book. All the shelves come with a zippered storage case that keeps them clean and organized when not in use, and it measures around an inch high.

It may be left out of the cabinets and used as a proofing oven without the shelves?

There is no humidity control on this oven, so it cannot be used as a proofing oven. It has a temperature of 85 degrees but In addition to culturing yogurt and fermenting foods, the dehydrator can also be used to create fermented foods.

Does the product come with a warranty?

The site of the manufacturers is online.

It's worth the money, it's quiet, it's easy to use, and it's multitasking
5/5

This book is a must-have! Deodorizer was amazing! I used it on 135° for eight hours to make salmon jerky, and it made my house smell like a fish market! As I want the shelves to endure as long as possible, I put the fish on trays that are 1/4 sheet thick. I am very impressed with the way this worked. The best thing about this product was its simplicity. I thought I needed an engineering degree to open and unfold, but it was quite Set up is simple - just set the time and the temperature. There's not too much noise, not one bit louder than a fridge that is running, but you learn to ignore it when it shuts off where you notice a great deal of The device beeps three times when it is finished. Since I have only had it for 3 days, I'll come back to it in a year or so. It is well worth the price. Update on the past two weeks. My only complaint is that the knobs are tiny and hard to grasp. In case I get seriously motivated to buy wider ones, I might buy them. However, that is really all that I have to say. Over the past two weeks, I have operated this dehydrator almost nonstop. There is salmon jerky, beef jerky, and mushroom jerky that I have made. A batch of venison jerky is in the works for In addition to lemons, limes, oranges, tomatoes, Sriracha, sardines, red miso, black garlic, and sweet peppers, I have powdered them with spices. There are a lot more tasty things I have made than just instant white and wild rice. Despite the fact that I don't see it off for 30 hours since I got it, I am basically running it all the time. An update on the last 4 months. This morning I used the dehydrator to warm up pancakes for Easter breakfast. I could only cook one pancake at a time, so I set the temperature to 130° and let it heat up the pancakes as they cooked. The first time we all ate pancakes at the same time. What a multitasking product!

Hey A REVIEW OF THE LAST YEAR. Buying it is a good idea. I really do. Buying it is a good idea. Every day I run it, I always have something to do with My favorite uses for it have been to proof bread, make yogurt, warm pancakes, powder food, make jerky, make dog treats, make fruit roll ups, and make tree ornaments (lime Don't miss out on this. Despite having a list of nobs to change, I have not gotten motivated to change them. Despite their age, the plastic shelves look great and are free of In the past, I have run them through the dishwasher now, I usually just wash It is so easy to wipe them clean. The grill mats worked just fine as dehydrator mats, since they were cheaper and I could cut them to the right size (simply take a lighter to the edges before you use them). I was dreading using it, but it was literally my favorite thing to use in the kitchen. I was so scared I could never use it, but I used it more than anything else! The skyscraper is always in use - just once I folded it back up, ONCE.

It was edited It works like a charm! The customer service provided by Brod & Taylor was excellent
5/5

It was about two weeks ago that I bought this dehydrator. Physical damage was not found on the item when it was delivered. I found that after 10 hours, the heating element did not work even after using it for dehydrating bananas. When I looked at the unit more closely, I noticed that it did not produce heat on the highest setting. I was sent a new unit by the company after contacting them. This replaced the unit that Amazon sent me the In my opinion, the new unit they sent me exceeds my expectations for a dehydrator that folds up to a third of its operating size. During the holiday, I have already used the dehydrator to dry bananas and peppers. This compact dehydrator is a great choice for those who do not want to compromise on quality. There are several reasons why I would have preferred to have ordered the unit from the manufacturer instead of Amazon This is the first thing I would like you to understand. When I purchased the dehydrator, they had a promotion where you got silicon mats with your purchase of the stainless steel model. This will prove to be very helpful when it comes to smaller pieces of vegetables and Please note that the following are two separate things. The Brod & The Brod Customers at Taylor have a much better experience than those at This dehydrator is a great choice if you are interested in making your own spices, healthy snacks, or you just want to preserve extra fruit that would otherwise spoil. cannot wait for next day delivery and do not need to be satisfied with it, check out their website first. You are more likely to get some extra goodies with your purchase, and I can assure you that it would be much easier dealing with their customer service than with Amazon itself.

A quality product that's both compact and affordable
5/5

I love this dehydrator because it's so versatile Changing the game. As I recently moved into an apartment, I was concerned I would not have the space to store The unit has a unique design that allows it to fold up and fit comfortably inside a kitchen drawer - how amazing! The appliance is evidently of high quality. I have used it for 10 uses so far. It is thick and high in fat Material such as plastics that are temperature-resistant, glass that is sturdy, and stainless steel Steel components contribute to the product feeling like it was manufactured without cutting corners. This was a very good price), and I have no complaints at all. The information I have is obligated to be shared! Food dehydrators like the Brod and Taylor Folding Food Dehydrator are awesome!.

Jerky, fruit, and chili powder are all necessary for the perfect snack
5/5

vegetables can be made into powder to make homemade pasta, chilies can be used in chili powder, flank steak can be used in There is nothing like this. Coring 30 apples and placing the wedges peel-side up on a plate will provide a good visual display The sheets are laid down on three of them. Dry for 14 hours at 140 degrees. Sprinkle with cinnamon and dry for 14 hours at 140 degrees. This snack is both healthy and delicious.

I was surprised by how well it turned out
5/5

In all honesty, I am surprised this dehydrator cost the kind of money it did. I use a dehydrator a lot and I travel frequently so I was interested in the folding feature, but I was surprised to find that most of the features In addition, it works very well. It has been my experience that I have owned other expensive and cheap dehydrators before, and this is the best one so far. My update will be after some time to inform you how it holds up over a long duration and how it holds up over at least 90 uses per.
